15 Years and still going strong, I'd like to thank all the fans from many teams and different boards, who have joined in and expressed their enjoyment of the countdown over many years. Again, it has been and is still a great pleasure for me to do the countdown for Y'all.


Now on to the same ol' yearly intro!!!!

The G.A.S. Countdown is NOT just the often used, automatic backwards clock ticker (when I started this there were no others of any kind that I could find and trust me I looked). This countdown IS a work of passion for the enjoyment of others and myself. The G.A.S. countdown IS the often IMITATED but never duplicated ORIGINAL (like Carolina BBQ) build up to a new season of thrills, chills, and spills. Fun for ALL and all are welcomed along for the, Worlds Best Countdown! :D

THE RULES
1.) This is the G.A.S. Countdown.


2.) Only full 24 hr Calendar days
left before 12:01am of gameday are counted. The day before gameday is counted at Zero, as there are only hours are left then.


3.) I countdown to Gameday, the beginning of what my heart is passionate for, the start of APPALACHIAN STATE UNIVERSITIES FOOTBALL SEASON!!!

6.) I understand that some teams start their season before ASU and some after, this is the case every year. I assume most AGS posters have or are working on some level of higher education. So if your team has one of the other start dates just subtract or add those days in your head for your own count. Please just post your player with the rest of us, your more than welcome to do so without starting a new thread with a different count. It clutters the board. Please post follow-ups and make-up posts to the current days thread only, it's very confusing to look at the board and 86 days is ahead of 80 days which is ahead 79 days. Even if you miss a day or several days of posting players, just add it to the current days thread, we'll more than understand . Thanks Y'alls help for a smooth countdown will be much appreciated.

ASU :)xnodxxbowxHead Coach Scott Satterfield xnodxxbowx

http://image.cdnllnwnl.xosnetwork.com/pics32/200/UX/UXKJIMDKZIELXUU.20120716204129.jpg

Scott Satterfield, who has spent 17 of the last 22 years at Appalachian State University as a student-athlete and coach, was named the 20th head coach in Appalachian State football history on Dec. 14, 2012.

“It is with great pride that we announce that Coach Satterfield has agreed to lead Appalachian State’s football program into a new era,” Appalachian State director of athletics Charlie Cobb said. “Scott has been successful in every role that he has filled during his 15-year coaching career and obviously has great familiarity and love for Appalachian State. His enthusiasm, energy and ability to coach young men in both football and life is second to none. During the interview process, he impressed the search committee with his vision for Appalachian State football and his plan to implement that vision on and off the field. I am confident that with Coach Satterfield leading our football program, Appalachian will maintain its unrivaled success for years to come.”

Satterfield has enjoyed success at every stop of his 20-year playing and coaching career, most notably in his 17 seasons at Appalachian State. In his 17 seasons as a player (1991-95) and coach (1998-2008, 2012), he has helped lead the Mountaineers to three national titles, eight Southern Conference championships and played a large role in virtually re-writing the program’s offensive record book.

Most recently, Satterfield has also proven to be a coach that can make a big impact in a short time. After a three-year stint away from his alma mater, Satterfield returned to Appalachian State in January as the Mountaineers’ assistant head coach, offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. Despite inheriting a unit that managed just 390.2 yards per game in 2011 (Appalachian’s lowest production in eight seasons), lost three players that would go on to play in the NFL this season and returned only five starters, the Mountaineer offense flourished under Satterfield’s direction in 2012. Appalachian State ranked among the nation’s top 25 in total offense (ninth - 464.0 ypg), passing efficiency (ninth - 152.03 rating), passing yardage (293.8 ypg) and scoring (32.9 ppg) and, for the first time in school history, produced a 3,000-yard passer (Jamal Jackson - 3,278 yds.), 1,000-yard rusher (Steven Miller - 1,368 yds.) and 1,000-yard receiver (Sean Price - 1,196 yds.) in the same season.

Prior to his return to Appalachian, Satterfield spent one season as the passing game coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Toledo (2009) and two as the offensive coordinator at Florida International (2009-10).

In his only season at Toledo, the Rockets ranked 20th nationally in passing (278.5 yards per game) and 14th in total offense (438.3 ypg), averages that were 89 and 104 yards better than the season prior to his arrival.

In two seasons at FIU, Satterfield helped lead the Golden Panthers to the first two bowl appearances in school history, including a victory over Toledo in the 2010 Little Caesars Bowl. After going 3-9 and averaging 321 yards of offense the year prior to his arrival, FIU won 15 games and averaged 380 yards in Satterfield’s two seasons as offensive coordinator.

ASU Defensive Coordinator http://image.cdnllnwnl.xosnetwork.com/pics32/200/JT/JTONQESUJWGUXHY.20130114213443.jpg


After 13 successful seasons as the defensive coordinator at Southern Conference rival Wofford, coaching veteran Nate Woody is in his first season as Appalachian State's defensive coordinator.

Woody has spent all 22 years of his collegiate coaching career at Wofford (1988-93, 1997-2012) and served as the Terriers’ defensive coordinator since 2000.

In his 13 seasons at the helm of his alma mater’s defense, Woody built one of the Southern Conference’s most successful units. Wofford led the SoCon in total defense three times under his tutelage, including twice in the last three campaigns (2010 and 2012), and produced nine all-Americans and three SoCon Defensive Players of the Year.

For this year, I'll post all 8 current Ivy players wearing that particular number. But I'm restricting to two schools per post (in this order): Harvard/Yale, Brown/Dartmouth, Columbia/Cornell, Penn/Princeton.

Harvard:

Tim Murphy
Overall: 160-106-1 (128-61 at Harvard through 19 completed seasons)
Alma Mater: Springfield College (currently D-III Liberty League) 1978

By any measure, Tim Murphy has led Harvard's storied football program to its most prosperous era since the early 20th century. He looks to continue that trend in 2013, as he wraps up his second decade as the Thomas Stephenson Family Head Coach for Harvard Football.
http://www.gocrimson.com/sports/fball/coaches/murphy_tim

Yale:
Tony Reno (former Harvard special teams coordinator/secondary coach)
Overall: 2-8
Alma Mater: Worcester State College (currently D-III MASCAC) 1997

Anthony (Tony) Reno, a former Yale assistant coach, was named the Joel E. Smilow '54 Head Coach of Yale Football on Jan. 12, 2012. The 34th head coach of the Bulldogs has a history of transforming his charges into nationally recognized units.

Reno, the Harvard special teams coordinator and defensive secondary coach from 2009 to 2011, helped engineer last fall's undefeated Ivy League Championship team, which earned a No. 14 Football Championship Subdivision National Ranking. Three of his Crimson special teams units were ranked statistically among the nation's top 20 in 2011.

Archer recently completed his sixth season as an assistant coach at his alma mater. The architect of Cornell's impressive recruiting efforts the last four seasons, he has been a key component in the Big Red's turnaround during that time. Archer most recently coached the team’s fullbacks and tight ends and served as the squad's recruiting coordinator in 2012. He has also spent time working with the running backs, offensive line and linebackers during his time on the sidelines on East Hill.

Penn:
Al Bagnoli
Overall: 228-85 (142-66 at Penn, 21 completed seasons)
Alma Mater: CCSU 1975

In the case of the George A. Munger Head Coach of Football Al Bagnoli, the numbers don’t lie. As the winningest active coach (by percentage) in the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision (FCS), owner of the highest winning percentage in Ivy League history, the only Ivy coach to ever capture nine outright titles, the winningest coach in Penn’s 136-year football history and as one of just six coaches in FCS history to record 200 career wins, Bagnoli is clearly one of the living legends in his sport.

Entering his 22nd season at the helm of the Quakers in 2013, Coach Bagnoli lays claim to more outright Ivy titles (nine) than any other program has in its entire history. Penn has won three of the last four Ivy League titles outright - the second time the Quakers have pulled off that feat under Bagnoli, while no other team has done it once during his tenure. In addition, Bagnoli has logged back-to-back undefeated Ivy League seasons three separate times—no other coach has ever accomplished the feat on even one occasion.
In 31 years as a head coach, Bagnoli currently stands at 228 career wins, which are oppossed by just 85 losses. His career winning percentage (72.8%) is first among active FCS coaches. In the final week of the 2008 campaign, the Quakers captured the 200th career win in Bagnoli’s illustrious career. There have been only five other FCS coaches in NCAA history to have accomplished that feat. The Central Connecticut State alumnus has accumulated 142 of those wins at Penn (school record) and 107 (second all-time) against Ivy opponents. His .728 winning percentage against Ivy opposition is better than any other coach in the history of the league.

Princeton:
Bob Surace
Overall: 7-23 (all at Princeton, 3 completed seasons)
Alma Mater: Princeton 1990

(not yet updated for 2013)
Bob Surace '90, a key member of the 1989 Ivy League champion Princeton football team, will be entering his third year as the Charles W. Caldwell Jr. '25 Head Coach of Football at Princeton University when the 2012 season opens. He was hired on Dec. 23, 2009, by Princeton Director of Athletics Gary Walters '67. Surace had been an assistant coach for the Cincinnati Bengals for the prior nine seasons and helped the team to an AFC North title in 2009.

As head coach at Central Missouri, Fritz led the Mules to their first post-season berth in 32 years when they defeated Minnesota-Duluth in the 2001 Mineral Water Bowl. A year later, Central Missouri earned its first NCAA Division II playoff berth after winning the Mid-America Athletic Association (MIAA) championship.

Wofford led the SoCon in total defense three times under his tutelage, including twice in the last three campaigns (2010 and 2012), and produced nine all-Americans and three SoCon Defensive Players of the Year.

Craig Bohl - Nebraska '80

North Dakota State head football coach Craig Bohl directed the Bison to the program’s second straight NCAA Division I Football Championship with a 39-13 win over Sam Houston State on Jan. 5, 2013, and the Missouri Valley Football Conference title. NDSU again tied the school record with a 14-1 record including a 7-1 record in the MVFC.

For the second straight season, the Bison had the Fargodome rocking with each of the three home NCAA playoff games, sending the decibel levels off the chart. The NDSU faithful then took Frisco, Texas, by storm again for the national championship game.

Bohl was named the 2012 The Sports Network Eddie Robinson and the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) FCS Coach of the Year. He garnered the Bruce Craddock MVFC Coach of the Year award for the second straight season.

Entering his 11th season, the tireless Bohl has an 89-32 record including a 24-8 record against nationally-ranked FCS teams, a 10-1 record in the FCS playoffs and 6-3 mark against Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) teams over the past seven seasons -- including a 22-7 win at Colorado State in the 2012. His 89 wins are second only to Rocky Hager (91-25-1, 1987-96).

Since making the move to Division I FCS, the football program’s performance on the field with the diverse West Coast offense and hard-nosed, aggressive defense has rekindled the excitement in the Fargo-Moorhead community, state of North Dakota and the region.

NDSU’s average home attendance in the Fargodome has grown from 11,567 in 2003 to a school record 18,516 achieved in 2012. There have been 13 sellouts over the past seven seasons. Capacity is listed at 18,700. The Bison are 52-12 at home over the past nine years.

North Dakota State has been ranked in The Sport Network or FCS Coaches Top 25 for 93 weeks since jumping to Division I in 2004. The Bison held down the No. 1 ranking in the FCS Coaches Top 25 for 11 weeks in 2012, three weeks in 2011, and 10 weeks over the 2007-08 seasons. NDSU was ranked 1st in both Top 25 polls in the final 2012 regular season ranking.

Defense: Chris Klieman - Northern Iowa '90

Offense: Brent Vigen - North Dakota State '98

[BlackNGoldR3v0lut10n]

Since Appalachian State has already been covered and ETSU has yet to name a football coach. I will post the head coach of my grad school alma mater Norfolk State.

Pete Adrian
Head Football Coach

When Pete Adrian was named the 16th head coach in Spartan football history on Jan. 19, 2005, he said that Norfolk State was a gold mine waiting to be discovered. After seven seasons at the helm of the program, Adrian’s words have proved to be prophetic.

Adrian guided the Spartans to the first MEAC football title and Division I Football Championship Subdivision playoff berth in school history in 2011. NSU finished with a 9-3 overall record and posted a 7-1 conference mark, both of which stand as the best in the school’s Division I history. The nine wins were the second-most in school history, following the 1984 team that finished 10-2 and won the last of the school’s four titles in the Division II CIAA.

NSU finished the season ranked 18th in the FCS Coaches Poll and 19th in The Sports Network/Fathead.com FCS Poll, the highest rankings the Spartans have garnered in those respective polls. Adrian was tabbed MEAC Coach of the Year by his peers, the Washington, D.C. Pigskin Club’s MEAC Coach of the Year, and was named national FCS Coach of the Year by the College Sporting News. In addition, the Norfolk Sports Club named him its Tom Fergusson Award winner as the Metropolitan Person of the Year in Sports.

The 2011 season capped a remarkable transformation for the Spartans. After NSU won a total of two games in the two seasons prior to Adrian’s arrival (2003 and 2004), the Spartans won eight games in Adrian’s first two seasons. They matched that eight-win total in 2007 alone and tallied a 7-4 record in 2009. A 6-5 campaign in 2010 clinched the school’s first-ever back-to-back winning seasons in the school’s Division I era. The streak now stands at three straight winning campaigns following 2011.

Adrian’s players also reaped the rewards of the team’s stellar 2011 season. A school record-tying 10 Spartans earned All-MEAC honors. Quarterback Chris Walley was named MEAC Co-Offensive Player of the Year and tackle Blake Matthews was voted MEAC Offensive Lineman of the Year, the first time in program history that an NSU player has won either award. Matthews and kicker Ryan Estep both earned multiple FCS All-America honors and were two of a school-record four players who were selected as black college All-Americans.

The Spartans have also been successful off the field under Adrian. NSU has ranked first in the MEAC each of the last three years in the NCAA’s Academic Progress Rate reports, which measure student-athlete graduation rates and retention. The Spartans’ multi-year APR average has also been the highest for any Division I historically black college or university in the last two NCAA reports that have been released.

Adrian became the first NSU football coach to earn MEAC Coach of the Year honors in 2007, when the Spartans posted the school’s first winning season in its Division I history. That team went 8-3 and came within an overtime loss to Delaware State from capturing the program’s first MEAC football championship. In addition to MEAC Coach of the Year honors, Adrian was also named the MEAC Coach of the Year by the 100% Wrong Club of Atlanta, Ga. He was also the recipient of the J. Roy Rodman Memorial Award as the Virginia Collegiate Coach of the Year by the Norfolk Sports Club, another first for an NSU football coach.

Also in 2007, the Spartans earned the school’s first-ever Division I FCS national ranking, reaching as high as No. 23. Additionally, NSU set a season attendance record for Dick Price Stadium, averaging 17,220 fans per game. That ranked seventh nationally and first among MEAC and state FCS schools.

Ten Spartans were named to the All-MEAC football team in 2007, matching the 2011 team for the most all-conference honors in the program’s Division I era. Included among them was defensive back Terrell Whitehead, who became NSU’s first-ever three-time Division I FCS All-American from 2007-09; and running back DeAngelo Branche, another three-time All-MEAC pick (2008-10) who became the school’s all-time leading rusher during the 2010 season.

A balanced offense and an attacking style of defense have been hallmarks of Adrian’s teams at NSU. The Spartan defense has ranked in the top 20 nationally in total defense four of the last five seasons, including three straight top-10 marks. The 2011 unit led the MEAC and finished second in the FCS after allowing just 275.8 yards per game. That came on the heels of back-to-back seasons where the Spartans were sixth nationally in the same category. NSU also finished fourth in the nation in scoring defense (17.1 points per game allowed) in 2011.

Adrian has also developed a reputation for being a good recruiter. In his first seven full recruiting seasons at the helm of the program, Adrian signed 16 players from the Southeastern Virginia area who were named to The Virginian-Pilot’s All-Tidewater team.

Adrian came to NSU after serving as defensive coordinator and linebackers coach for seven seasons at one of the Spartans’ MEAC rivals, Bethune-Cookman in Daytona Beach, Fla.

Adrian joined the Wildcats’ staff in 1997 after serving as head coach and athletic director at Deltona High School in Deltona, Fla., from 1993-96. Adrian left Bethune-Cookman briefly to serve as defensive coordinator of the XFL’s Chicago Enforcers in 2001, and returned to his post at B-CU in 2002.

During his tenure at Bethune-Cookman, Adrian helped the Wildcats to the most successful period in school history. In his seven seasons, the Wildcats went 54-25 and had winning records in each of his last six years there. B-CU made the first two Division I FCS playoff appearances in school history in 2002 and 2003 and won a MEAC title in 2002.

The Wildcat defense was a big reason for that success, regularly ranking among the conference leaders in numerous categories. In 2004, Adrian’s last year with the Wildcats, B-CU finished second in the MEAC in scoring defense (20.9 ppg) and total defense (325.1 ypg). The 2004 unit also forced the second-most turnovers in the MEAC (35) and ranked 14th in FCS in passing efficiency defense.

Adrian has coached numerous players who have reached the professional ranks. Included among them is former NSU defensive back Don Carey, the first Spartan to be drafted in the school’s Division I era. Carey was a sixth-round choice of the Cleveland Browns in the 2009 NFL draft after a senior season which saw him become the first Spartan ever selected to play in the East-West Shrine Game.

Other pro players whom Adrian has coached include Pro Bowl defensive backs Nick Collins (Green Bay Packers) and Rashean Mathis (Jacksonville Jaguars). Both starred for Adrian’s defenses at Bethune-Cookman. Mathis was the second HBCU athlete to win the Buck Buchanan Award as the top defensive player in Division I FCS. He still holds FCS records for interceptions in a season (14, in 2002) and a career (31). Mathis was one of two MEAC Defensive Players of the Year that Adrian has coached, along with defensive end Steve Baggs in 2003.

Carey and Whitehead (free-agent signee) both signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Carey earned the starting free safety job early in the 2010 season and started the team’s final 10 games before playing with the Detroit Lions in 2011. Whitehead, meanwhile, was one of five Spartans from the 2009 team to sign a professional contract, along with receiver Chris Bell (free agent, New Orleans Saints), offensive lineman Calton Ford (free agent, Cleveland Browns), cornerback Dante Barnes (free agent, Washington Redskins) and quarterback Dennis Brown (Canadian Football League’s Calgary Stampeders). In all, six Spartans have signed NFL contracts in the last five years (Carey, Whitehead, Bell, Barnes, Ford and quarterback Casey Hansen).

Adrian has 43 years of coaching experience, 38 at the collegiate level. He has held assistant coaching positions at West Virginia, Rhode Island and Idaho State. At Rhode Island, he was on staff for three Yankee Conference championships and NCAA playoff teams. He was also the head coach at Division II Bloomsburg (Pa.) University from 1986-92, compiling a 36-37-1 record. He has the third-most wins of any football coach in Bloomsburg history.

A native of Brilliant, Ohio, Adrian lettered in five sports at Brilliant High School before attending West Virginia. At WVU, he played one year of freshman football (1966) before playing parts of three seasons on the varsity squad in 1967-69. An injury cut short his playing career in Morgantown, W.Va., but he coached the Mountaineers’ freshman football team as a senior in 1969. He earned his bachelor’s degree from WVU in 1970 and received his master’s from Rhode Island University in 1972.

Adrian and his wife, Christine, have two adult sons, Rocco and Zach, and one granddaughter, Riley Elizabeth.

Dr. Robert Ford
Head Coach
17725

[URL="http://www.ualbanysports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=70372&SPID=8009&DB_LANG=C&DB_OEM_ID=15800&ATCLID=850195&Q_SEASON=2012"]The architect of the University at Albany football program, Bob Ford has established a solid reputation with his positive attitude and a coaching philosophy that instills loyalty among each member of his team and staff.

Ford, who has been UAlbany's only head coach since the program was reinstated after a 46-year absence, was appointed on April 27, 1970. Since then, he has compiled a 40-year varsity record of 255-159 as the Great Dane mentor, while his 264 career victories rank first among active NCAA Division I college football head coaches. His UAlbany teams own a 97-58 mark as a Division I FCS program.

In 2012, the Great Danes closed a 14-season chapter as an associate member of the Northeast Conference, compiling a 78-24 record in the tenure. Ford (264-180-1) will lead the Great Danes into UAlbany's 41st varsity season, the Colonial Athletic Association, and a brand new stadium in 2013.

In their last season competing in the NEC, Ford piloted UAlbany to its sixth Northeast Conference title with a 9-2 overall record and 7-1 league mark. The Great Danes ranked as high as No. 18 in the FCS Coaches Poll and No. 20 in the Sports Network Top-25, and tied the program's Division I record for wins in a season. In addition, nine Great Danes earned All-NEC honors, including six first-teamers. Senior Ryan Kirchner finished his career as UAlbany's all-time leading receiver with 172 career catches, while tailback Drew Smith closed his career as the program's all-time leading point scorer (270), touchdown scorer (45), and tied for most rushing touchdowns scored (40).

During the 2011 season, Coach Ford recorded his 250th career victory with a 38-10 win over Northeast Conference rival Duquesne, and was named the Northeast Conference Coach of the Year for the fourth time. Ford led the program to its first NCAA FCS postseason appearance, its first NCAA appearance in football since 1977, taking on Stony Brook in the first round of the FCS Playoffs. The Great Danes earned a share of their fifth Northeast Conference championship with 31-21 victory over Sacred Heart, and reached the eight-win plateau for the fourth time as a NCAA Division I FCS program. UAlbany placed eleven players on the 2011 All-Northeast Conference squad, led by defensive end Eddie Delaney, who was just the second UAlbany defensive lineman to be recognized on three occasions during a career.

The squad finished up the 2011 season ranked on two national polls, and was receiving votes in a third. The Great Danes were voted 23rd in the Football Championship Subdivision Coaches' Poll, and 21st in the Any Given Saturday FCS Poll. UAlbany was also receiving votes in the Sports Network Media Poll.

The Great Danes, who went 6-5 overall in 2010, established a school record with their fifth consecutive winning campaign. UAlbany posted a 7-4 record and finished second in the Northeast Conference standings the previous season. UAlbany also defeated No. 20 Maine, 20-16, the first victory over a national top-20 opponent since the 2006 season.

In 2008, The Great Danes put together their second consecutive championship season with a NEC crown and a victory over Jacksonville in the Gridrion Classic. Ford's squad became the first NEC program to win the Gridiron postseason game. UAlbany finished with a 9-3 record, the most victories in a Division I FCS campaign. Ford, who was voted NEC coach of the year for the third time, led UAlbany to an undefeated league season for the second straight year. Tailback David McCarty, the school's career rushing leader, and offensive tackle Raphael Nguti were both chosen as All-Americans.

UAlbany also won the NEC championship in 2007, when Ford was named the conference's top coach. The Great Danes made their fifth postseason appearance in team history when they played Dayton for the FCS mid-major national title in the Gridiron Classic. UAlbany posted an 8-4 record, including a perfect 6-0 mark against league opposition.

Ford, who was honored at the 69th annual Maxwell Awards for recording his 200th career win at UAlbany on Nov. 5, 2005, has produced 12 All-America players and 137 all-conference selections at the FCS level. Nguti became the fourth Great Dane to be selected to the AFCA FCS All-America first team in 2008, joining J.T. Herfurth (2000), Geir Gudmundsen (2004) and Colin Disch (2006).

In 2003, UAlbany shared its second consecutive Northeast Conference crown by finishing in a tie for first place in the conference standings with a 7-4 overall mark. The Great Danes were fourth among the FCS Division I leaders in rushing, while tailback Gary Jones was named to the Associated Press All-America Team for the second time in his career.

The Great Danes put together one of their most celebrated seasons in 2002 by winning the program's first-ever Northeast Conference title and capping the year with a 24-0 upset of previously unbeaten Duquesne in the ECAC Division I-AA Football Classic. Ford, who directed his team to an 8-4 record, was named the NEC Coach of the Year. UAlbany placed 14 players on the all-conference squad.

Ford, who has served as president of the American Football Coaches Association, marched UAlbany to a 7-2 record in its inaugural campaign as a Division I-AA program in 1999. The Great Danes garnered seven wins in 2001, and finished among the conference's top teams for the third straight year.

As a Division II program, Ford led the Great Danes to their second consecutive Eastern Football Conference championship, an EFC Atlantic Division title, and a 10-1 record in 1998. He was named the conference's coach of the year for the second straight season. Ford also received the Gordon White-Herschel Nissenson Division II Coach of the Year Award by the Metropolitan New York Football Writers Association.

Ford coached his 1997 team to a school-record 11-1 mark and an EFC championship. For his efforts, he was named the Football Gazette Division II non-scholarship national Coach of the Year, and voted the top Region I coach by GTE and the American Football Coaches Association.

At one time, Ford was the youngest head football coach in the nation, when the 26-year-old took over the reins at St. Lawrence University in 1965. In his first season, he guided the Saints to an Independent Collegiate Athletic Conference (ICAC) title. He arrived in the Capital Region five years later to start the first gridiron squad at the University since 1924.

After three seasons at the club level, the program was upgraded to varsity status in 1973, and finished with a 7-2 record. One year later, the Great Danes completed the school's only undefeated season with a 9-0 mark.

Ford's 1977 team earned a NCAA Division III playoff berth. After a season-opening loss, the Great Danes rebounded with nine consecutive victories. UAlbany defeated Hampden-Sydney in a thrilling 51-45 contest to begin the postseason before losing to eventual national champion Widener in the semifinals.

In 1978, Coach Ford's mystique grew before a national audience on ABC television. His last-minute addition of a field goal kicker direct from the soccer team paid off in a victory over third-ranked Ithaca. Dario Arango kicked a 45-yard field goal in the last two minutes to provide a 9-6 victory.

In 1985, the Great Danes rallied from a three-touchdown deficit for a 33-21 victory over Plymouth State and the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) North championship. The '85 team, which produced one of the greatest comebacks in Ford's coaching career, boasted offensive and defensive units which were nationally ranked, and supported by five Pizza Hut and one Associated Press All-America players.

UAlbany's football program is also known for the high standards required of its coaching staff. Ford's "coaching factory" has allowed many of his assistants to earn their master's degrees while working at the collegiate level. According to a recent review, more than 100 coaches, who have started their careers under Ford's tutelage, are currently employed with 60 different high schools, colleges, and professional teams from around the nation and the world.

A starting quarterback in his senior year at Springfield College in Massachusetts, Ford was given the "Greatest Desire to Improve" Award by the school's athletic department. He received an undergraduate degree in physical education from Springfield in 1959, and later would earn his doctorate from the College in the same discipline. He gained a master's degree from St. Lawrence in educational administration in 1960.

Ford's first coaching opportunity came as an assistant at St. Lawrence in the fall of 1959. He then moved to Albright College in Pennsylvania as an assistant for four seasons, where he coached the secondary and offensive backfield, and was part of a program which produced a 21-game winning streak.

At Albright College, Ford also coached the wrestling and golf teams. He returned to Springfield in 1964 as a secondary coach, and later was named defensive coordinator at his alma mater in 1969.

Beginning in 1977, Ford was UAlbany's director of athletics for five years. During that time, he managed a program which sponsored 25 varsity sports for men and women.

A 1986 inductee into the Wachusett Regional High School Hall of Fame and a 2012 inductee into the Springfield College Hall of Fame, Ford is presently active in the National Football Foundation & Hall of Fame, and serves as vice president of the NFFCHF's Capital District Chapter. He was honored by that organization in 2000 with its Service to Football Award.

Ford, 75, has been a member of the American Football Coaches Association's Board of Trustees since 1994, and presently is serving on the AFCA's Division I FCS All-America Team Selection Committee. Ford received the New York State Athletic Administrators Distinguished Service Award in 2005.

In August of 2010, Ford was recognized by the National Football Foundation Capital District Hall of Fame with its Service to Football Award. Ford was previously presented by the UAlbany Alumni Association with its Citizen of the University Award in 2007 which recognizes outstanding contributions to the University by a non-alumnus or alumna through leadership, service or a special gift.

Ford and his wife, Donna, reside in the Capital Region. He has a daughter, Sherri Lee, son-in-law, Kevin, and two grandchildren, Aiden and Kyra.

Chris Mussman

Position: Head Coach
Alma Mater: Iowa State
Graduating Year: 1990
Phone: 701.777.4191
Email: [email protected]

The 2013 season will be the sixth for head coach Chris Mussman as he leads the North Dakota footbal into its second campaign as a Big Sky member.

Year one in the Big Sky was a roller coaster of a season in which Mussman and his squad finished 5-6 and 3-5 in league play after facing arguably the toughest schedule in the conference. The highlights included a win on the road at Sacramento State in the team's Big Sky debut on Sept. 22 and a thrilling 40-34 victory over perennial Big Sky power Montana at home on Oct. 20.

There were also individual program firsts under Mussman's direction as junior wide receiver Greg Hardin was named the first Division I All-American in UND history (Sports Network Third Team). Redshirt freshman Jameer Jackson was named a Freshman All-American by College Sports Journal.

Hardin and company also racked up several national accolades, including being named the College Football Performance Awards Elite FCS Wide Receiver. Hardin, who was also a first team All-Big Sky selection, earned CFPA national weekly honors three different times and fifth-year senior quarterbacks Braden Hanson and Marcus Hendrickson were also honored with national weekly honors.

Mussman's fourth season in the Red River Valley was the best of his head coaching tenure. His squad won seven of its last eight games, including four straight at the end to register a five-game turnaround from the 2010 season. He was named the Great West Coach of the Year by both his peers and the league's media and was also a finalist for the FCS Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year and Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year Award.

Mussman received his first Gatorade bath as a head coach after a thrilling 38-37 victory over South Dakota that earned the Sioux a share of the final GWC football regular season title. UND rallied from a 20-point, fourth-quarter deficit to knock off the rival Coyotes. Sioux players accounted for a league-high 12 GWC Player of the Week accolades, including sophomore Jake Miller, who became the first player in league history to earn three consecutive weekly honors.

Miller was also one of three players to earn first team All-GWC honors, while six others earned second team accolades. Academically, the Sioux placed 11 players on the All-GWC Academic Team and junior offensive lineman Emmett Lynch was named to the Capital One Academic All-District Seven Team.

Lynch was also part of an offensive line unit that Mussman took over coaching prior to the season. The O-line allowed the fewest sacks among GWC teams in 2011 and also paved the way for Miller to rank second among league rushers in yardage and rushing touchdowns.

Mussman's third season was one of ups and downs for a young Sioux squad that reeled off all three of its wins at the Alerus Center. The UND offense averaged 45 points in those victories, outscoring its foes by an average of 30 points.

A pair of seniors earned first team All-Great West accolades for their play on the field. Linebacker Ryan Kasowski earned a spot on the coaches' team, while Joel Schwenzfeier landed a spot on the media's team. Seven players earned Great West weekly honors, while 10 more Sioux found their names on the league's all-academic team.

Among the highlights during Mussman's second season in 2009 were UND's highly-anticipated road opener against its first BCS opponent (Texas Tech) since 1976, a 31-17 home victory over then 16th-ranked Cal Poly, the opportunity to play for the team's first NCAA DI conference title, and a season-ending, down-to-the-wire, one-point win over Central Arkansas.

The Sioux finished the campaign with a 6-5 mark, which was the program's seventh straight winning season, and as the runner-up to UC Davis in the Great West standings.

For their efforts on the field, nine Sioux received GWC Player of the Week honors, including sophomore Broc Bellmore, who was one of six players to be recognized more than once. Redshirt freshman Mitch Sutton was named Great West Rookie of the Year and was selected to the all-conference first team. Sutton was joined on the all-conference roster by junior Ryan Kasowski (first team), sophomore Ismael Bamba (second team), senior Kyle Bondy (second team), junior Ty Boyle (second team), sophomore Dominique Hawkins (second team), senior Brandon Hellevang (second team), junior Kris Ankenbauer (honorable mention), and redshirt freshman Ross Brenneman (honorable mention).

While the on field achievements were easily recognizable, coach Mussman and his staff continually urged their student-athletes to strive for success in the classroom as well.

Two players received ESPN the Magazine Academic All-America honors and four were named to the ESPN the Magazine Academic All-District team. Hellevang and senior Andrew Miller were selected to the Football Championship Subdivision Athletics Directors Association Academic All-Star team and both were finalists for the ninth annual FCS ADA postgraduate scholarship. Miller becomes the first Fighting Sioux player to receive the award. He also received an NCAA Post-Graduate Scholarship.

During his first season as the head coach of the Fighting Sioux, Mussman guided the tradition-rich program to a 6-4 record as the University of North Dakota made its NCAA Division I Football Championship debut.

The Sioux registered their first victory as a DI program on Sept. 18 when they defeated the Idaho State Bengals, 38-35, in Pocatello, Idaho. They went on to finish 2-3 against DI opponents. UND was undefeated (4-0) against non-DI schools with a records of 3-0 and 1-0 against DII and DIII opponents, respectively.

Mussman also led North Dakota to a 1-2 record in its first season as member of the Great West Conference alongside Cal Poly, South Dakota, Southern Utah, and UC Davis.

The Sioux finished at the top of the GWC in several team categories, but most notably, they produced the league's most productive running back (Josh Murray) and kick returner (Dominique Hawkins).

The 2008 squad was not only recognized for its efforts on the field, but in the classroom as well. Four student-athletes were honored as academic all-Americans and league-high nine were selected to the Great West all-conference team. UND also topped the GWC as 16 players received fall all-academic honors.

Mussman became the 25th head coach in UND football history when he was introduced at a press conference on Jan. 4, 2008, after nine seasons on the Sioux coaching staff, including the last four as assistant head coach and the last seven as offensive coordinator.

Mussman possesses nearly two decades of collegiate coaching experience. During his nine seasons as an assistant on the UND staff, the Sioux went 90-24 (.789), won a Division II national championship in 2001, won five North Central Conference titles and made five NCAA Division II postseason appearances.

In 2007, Mussman directed arguably the most explosive offensive unit in the history of Fighting Sioux football. UND set school records for total yards (5,924), total touchdowns (60) and regular season scoring average (40.7 points per game).

UND finished the 2007 season as the NCC's top-ranked offense in scoring, total offense, total first downs, 3rd-down conversions and time of possession.

Individually, senior wide receiver Weston Dressler set a UND single-season record for receiving yardage and was named a Harlon Hill Trophy finalist, while two of Mussman's offensive linemen, juniors Mitch Braegelmann and Brian Troen, garnered several postseason awards between the two of them.

Additionally, junior quarterback Danny Freund set UND regular season records for passing yards (2,573) and touchdowns (24), while sophomore running back Ryan Chappell shattered the team's single-game rushing record with 306 yards against Central Washington on Sept. 15.

Offensive prominence was a staple of Sioux football during Mussman's time as offensive coordinator. UND's offensive record books are littered with accomplishments achieved under Mussman's watch, including the top three single-season passing yardage performances, top seven completion percentage performances and seven of the top eight marks for single-season receptions. Also, six of the top 10 highest-rated passers in UND history were tutored by Mussman.

During his seven years as UND's offensive coordinator, Mussman coached 32 All-NCC players on offense, including the two-time (2007, 2006) NCC Most Valuable Receiver in Dressler.

Since Mussman joined the UND coaching staff as offensive line coach in 1999, eight Sioux offensive linemen have earned first team all-conference honors, four have received first team All-America honors and Ben Olson (2003) and Chris Kuper (2004, 2005) were honored as the NCC's Most Valuable Offensive Linemen.

Kuper currently plays for the NFL's Denver Broncos, while Dressler now plays for the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Football League.

Prior to coming to UND, Mussman spent the previous eight seasons on the staff at Minnesota State University, Mankato. In 1996 Mussman was promoted to assistant head coach and offensive coordinator at MSU after serving as the Mavericks' offensive line and tight ends coach. Under Mussman, the 1996 Mavericks led the NCC in total offense.

In addition to coaching at UND and MSU, Mussman has also served as an instructor for UND's Physical Education and Exercise Science department and MSU's Health and Human Performance department.

Mussman holds a bachelor's degree in political science from Iowa State and a master's degree in sports management from MSU. He was a four-year letterwinner and starting offensive lineman at Iowa State, serving as a team captain in 1990.

Mussman and his wife, Shelley, have two sons: Jacob (15) and Jackson (13).

Dawson Odums
Position: Head Coach
Experience: 1 Year
Phone: 225-771-5989
Email: [email protected]






With over 15 years of coaching experience under his belt, Coach Odums enters his first season as the Jaguars Head Coach, after serving as the Interim Head Coach during the 2012 season.

While serving as Interim Head Coach, Odums produced five all conference selections; 1st Team WR Lee Doss and 2nd Team Selections, QB Dray Joseph, OL Christopher Brown, LB Anthony Balancier and DB Virgil Williams.

Coach Odums worked three seasons in various positions at Mid-Eastern Atlantic Conference traditional power, North Carolina A&T. Odums, most recently served as the Aggies Defensive Coordinator in 2010 after having served as the schools Defensive Line coach and special team’s coordinator in the previous two seasons.

Under Odums guidance, the Aggies players thrived both defensively as well as through special teams play. Brandon Jackson became the first Aggie in five seasons to record more than 100 tackles in a season with 106. D'Vonte Graham led the MEAC in interceptions with seven.

The Aggies returned four kicks for touchdowns, blocked four punts -- one for a touchdown -- and had two players ranked in the top 20 in kickoff return yardage per game. N.C. A&T special teams ranked in the top 50 in punt return defense (26th), kickoff return yardage per game (46th) and kickoff return defense (15th).

The Aggies also had several special teams’ highlights under Odums leadership. Quay Long shattered a school record with a 96-yard punt return against Bethune-Cookman on Oct. 31, 2009. Punter Alex Grubb had five punts over 50 yards and placed 18 punts inside the opponent's 20-yard line.

Before going to N.C. A&T, Odums spent four seasons at Division II Clark Atlanta. From 2002 to 2003, he served as the Panthers assistant head coach, the defensive coordinator and the recruiting coordinator. In 2004, he earned his first opportunity to head a collegiate program when he took over as Clark Atlanta's interim head football coach. A year later, the interim label was removed from his title as he became the Panthers head coach.

Following his coaching stint at Clark, Odums became an assistant at the Aggies’ MEAC rival, Bethune-Cookman University. From 2005-2007 he coached the Wildcats' defensive line.

Odums has also been an assistant at Georgia Southern and Gardner-Webb.

He spent two seasons at Georgia Southern where he coached linebackers in 2000 and in 2001 coached the Eagles defensive ends. The 2000 season was a special year for Odums as he assisted the Eagles to the Division I-AA (now Football Championship Subdivision) National Championship.

Odums continues to improve his coaching philosophy and techniques by attending camps and conferences. He was recently selected to participate in the 2011 NCAA Expert Coaches Academy in Orlando, Fla. In the 2010, he was one of only 25 coaches selected from thousands of applicants to participate in the NCAA Coaches Academy in Indianapolis. The Academy is designed to train minorities for head coaching positions.

A native of Shelby, N.C., Odums began his coaching career returning to his high school alma mater, Crest High School. Odums turned in a stellar playing career for the Eagles of North Carolina Central University in Durham as a three-year starter and an All-CIAA selection his senior year, where he also served as a team captain. Following his playing career, he earned a Bachelor's of Science Degree in Physical Education in 1997

Head Coach Dave Brock
17727
A new era of Blue Hen football begins at the University of Delaware in 2013 led by new head coach Dave Brock.

Brock, a native of Moorestown, N.J. and a veteran of 22 collegiate seasons as an assistant coach, becomes just the fifth head coach of the Blue Hens since 1940. The University has produced six national championships, five national runner-up finishes, 20 NCAA Tournament appearances, 20 Lambert Cup trophies, three College Football Hall of Fame head coaches, and numerous All-Americans and National Football League players. Brock replaces K.C. Keeler, who led the Blue Hens for the last 11 seasons.

“I'm thrilled to welcome Dave Brock to UD,” said University of Delaware President Patrick T. Harker in making the announce on Jan. 18, 2013. “Dave has substantial coaching experience at some highly competitive schools and has nurtured an impressive roster of players. Just as importantly, Dave has a strong reputation for integrity and caring leadership. I think our student-athletes will thrive with him as their coach and mentor. And I know Dave will benefit from working with such a talented and committed group of young men.”

Brock, 45, comes to Delaware after serving one season as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach under coach Kyle Flood at Rutgers University. In 2012, Rutgers posted a 9-4 record, won a share of the Big East title, and advance to the Russell Athletic Bowl. Prior to Rutgers, Brock coached at Boston College, Kansas State, North Carolina, Temple, Hofstra, Salisbury State, and Western Connecticut State.

“When we started this search process to begin a new chapter in our football history, we received tremendous interest from around the country,” said University of Delaware Director of Athletics and Recreation Services Eric Ziady. “The interest speaks so highly of our University and of our football program’s rich tradition. In the end, it was clear that Dave Brock has the character, the experience, the passion, the recruiting skills, and the leadership qualities that will enable him to lead our program to championships on the field and success off the field.”

“The opportunity to coach at a place with such a storied tradition, in the footprint of where I grew up and where I have coached most of my life, is an honor for my family and I am humbled by the opportunity,” said Brock. “The University of Delaware represents excellence in academics and athletics and I want to thank President Harker and Eric [Ziady] for inviting me into the family.”

The New Jersey native’s coaching career includes stops at North Carolina, Temple, Hofstra, Kansas State and Boston College. He has been an offensive coordinator for seven of those seasons and has mentored many current NFL standouts, including Hakeem Nicks (New York Giants), Josh Freeman (Tampa Bay Buccaneers), Jordy Nelson (Green Bay Packers) and Marques Colston (New Orleans Saints).

Brock was also instrumental in recruiting quarterback Dave Shinskie, a one-time Delaware recruit who came to BC after a career in professional baseball. Despite being picked to finish last in the ACC's Atlantic Division in preseason media voting, the 2009 Eagles finished with an 8-5 record and came within one win of playing in a third consecutive ACC Championship Game.

Brock spent the 2008 season as Kansas State's offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach after coaching the wideouts in 2007. Kansas State ranked 18th nationally in passing (269.6) and 19th in scoring offense (34.9) under Brock's leadership.

As offensive coordinator at Kansas State, Brock spearheaded a Wildcat offense that produced the 2008 Big 12 Offensive Newcomer of the Year in wide receiver Brandon Banks and Kansas State's most prolific passer in school history in quarterback Josh Freeman. Banks set a Wildcat junior record with 67 receptions and 1,049 yards last season, while Freeman became Kansas State's career leader in passing attempts, completions, yards, touchdowns and total offense in 2008.

In 2007, Brock tutored Kansas State's Jordy Nelson, who was a consensus All-American and Biletnikoff Award finalist, as well as Big 12 Offensive Newcomer of the Year Deon Murphy. Nelson, who became the Wildcats' first-ever offensive consensus All-American, ranked second in the nation in receptions (10.2) and receiving yards per game (133.8) en route to setting 11 Kansas State receiving records.

Kansas State, which set school records for passing yards, completions and attempts in a season, also ranked 20th nationally in passing offense (285.4) and 21st in scoring offense (35.2). The Wildcats finished the season with a 3,000-yard passer, a 1,600-yard receiver and a 1,000-yard rusher for the first time in school history.

Prior to Kansas State, Brock spent two years at North Carolina, where he served as the Tar Heels' assistant head coach/recruiting coordinator and wide receivers coach. In 2005, Jarwarski Pollock became the all-time leading receiver at Carolina with 177 catches.

In 2006, Brock coached wide receiver Hakeem Nicks to honorable mention freshman All-America honors by The Sporting News as Nicks set UNC freshman records with 39 receptions for 660 yards and four touchdowns.

Before coaching at North Carolina, Brock was the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for three seasons at Temple. In 2004, Temple ranked third in the Big East in rushing, generating 173.0 yards on the ground per game.

Brock served in various roles during seven seasons at Hofstra from 1995 through 2002, including running backs coach (1995), wide receivers coach/recruiting coordinator (1997-99), offensive coordinator (2000-01) and associate head coach (2002). In 2000, Hofstra finished the year ranked No. 7 with a 9-4 record.

He played linebacker at Ferrum (Va.) College before earning a bachelor of science degree in political science from Salisbury (Md.) State University in 1994.

Brock and his wife, Karen, have five children - Henry, William, Richard, Kate, and Maggie.

Brock takes over a team that is coming off a 5-6 record in 2012 but returns 10 starters on offense and 12 players with starting experience on the defensive side. Among the returnees is Walter Payton National Player of the Year Award nominee in running back Andrew Pierce as well as All-CAA selections Bobby Kennedy and Brandon Heath on the offensive line, cornerback Travis Hawkins, and 2012 CAA and ECAC Defensive Rookie of the Year Jeff Williams at linebacker.

The 2013 season will begin on Aug. 29 at Delaware Stadium when the Blue Hens host first-time opponent Jacksonville (Fla.). The home schedule also includes games vs. Delaware State and Wagner and league foes James Madison, Albany, Towson, William & Mary, and Richmond. The Hens will also travel to Navy on Sept. 14.

Defensive Coordinator Tim Weaver (Linebackers)
17728
Tim Weaver, a 23-year college coaching veteran who served the last seven years as head coach at Bethany (W.V.) College, was named Defensive Coordinator and Linebackers Coach at the University of Delaware in February, 2013.

Weaver most recently served as head football coach at Bethany where he also served as the school's director of athletics since 2008. His 23-year career in football also includes serving as assistant coach at Columbia, Harvard, West Virginia Wesleyan, Hofstra, and Western Connecticut State.

“I’m thrilled to have Tim join our staff as defensive coordinator,” said University of Delaware head coach Brock in making the announcement. “I had the opportunity to work with Tim in the past and I’ve seen first-hand that he is an exceptional teacher and a person of very high character. He will provide tremendous leadership for our defense and he will play the attacking style that I am looking for. In addition, his experience as a head coach will be useful to me as we go forward.”

“It was going to take a special place for me to leave Bethany, and the University of Delaware is that kind of place,” said Weaver, a 1990 sociology and anthropology graduate of Davidson (N.C.) College where he was a four-year starter at defensive end and linebacker. “Delaware is the recognizable brand name in FCS football, and with the success, tradition, and fan base, it really is unique. I have such respect for Delaware and I’m excited to be a part of it and to work with Coach Brock.”

Weaver began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at NCAA III Western Connecticut State in 1990-91 and moved on to coach the defensive line at Hofstra in 1992-95, served as defensive coordinator and linebacker coach at NCAA II West Virginia Wesleyan in 1996-98, served as co-defensive coordinator, defensive line coach, linebackers coach, and special teams coach at Harvard in 1999-2002, and was defensive coordinator at Columbia in 2003-05.

He took over the head coaching position at NCAA III Bethany in January, 2006 and served the last seven seasons in that post. He added director of athletics duties in August, 2008.

Weaver and his wife, Kelly, have two daughters, Delaney and Casey.

“As someone who lived in Delaware and still follows the Blue Hen football program, I am delighted to see Tim join the staff,” said current Bethany President Dr. Scott Miller, who previously served as president of Wesley College in Dover, Del. “It has been a pleasure to work with Tim over the last six years as both a director of athletics and football coach. He is an individual with impeccable integrity and he is committed to the student-athlete experience. His years at Davidson and Harvard have given him a unique perspective on college sports that will benefit the University of Delaware. He is a good coach, an outstanding person, and a tremendous family man. We hate to lose him, but I’m happy for the University of Delaware.”

Offensive Coordinator Sean Devine (Offensive Line)
17729
Sean Devine, a 19-year veteran of the college football coaching ranks, was named Offensive Coordinator and Offensive Line Coach at the University of Delaware in February, 2013.

Devine began his coaching career at Colby College and followed with long stints at New Hampshire and most recently Boston College.

A four-year starter at linebacker at Colby College in Maine where he served as captain, Devine was an All-East (ECAC) selection as a senior, and earned his degree in physics in 1994. He began his coaching career at Colby as a defensive line coach in 1994.

He moved on to serve as defensive line coach (1995-2001), offensive line coach and recruiting coordinator (2002-06), and offensive coordinator and offensive line coach (2007-08) at Delaware’s Colonial Athletic Association rival New Hampshire under head coach Sean McDonnell.

While at UNH, he helped the Wildcats advance to the NCAA Division I FCS playoffs in 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008, earn a No. 1 national ranking, and capture three conference titles. Among the players he tutored was former league Player of the Year in quarterback Ricky Santos.

“I had the opportunity to work with Sean for three years at Boston College,” said Delaware head coach Dave Brock in making the announcement. “He is a tremendous leader, a relentless recruiter, and a great mentor to his players. He fits one of the criteria that I was looking for when building our staff in that he has coordinator experience in the CAA and has BCS level experience.”

“The University of Delaware is one of the top programs the FCS has to offer and the national championship belongs in Newark,” said Devine. “When I was at New Hampshire, I always admired, always feared, and always respected this place. Now, to be part of it, is really something spectacular and I can’t wait to get started. To have the chance to work with people you love and trust, it doesn’t get any better than that. I’ve learned a lot from Coach Brock. He is a great leader and a great motivator and I know he going to do a great job.”

Following his 14-year tenure at New Hampshire, Devine moved on to Boston College where he served as offensive line coach for three seasons and most recently was tight ends coach in 2012.

He helped lead the Eagles to berths in the 2009 Emerald Bowl and 2010 Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl and mentored two-time All-ACC performer Anthony Castonzo, a 2011 first round draft pick of the Indianapolis Colts. Devine and his wife, Nicole, have two daughters, Amelie and Maelle.

“Sean is an extremely intelligent individual with a great passion for the game of football,” said current Philadelphia Eagles head coach Chip Kelly, who was offensive coordinator at UNH with Devine before becoming head coach at the University of Oregon. “I think the world of him. Sean is one of the most detail-oriented coaches I have been around and he is an unbelievable communicator and teacher. His unit was always the best coached group we had and he made seemless transitions. He understands the conference (CAA) and he will be a great fit for Delaware.”

Head Coach J.C. Harper (7th Season at SFA) (Alma Mater: Clemson)

- Two-Time SLC Coach of the Year

Entering his ninth season with the Lumberjack football program, J.C. Harper is in his seventh season as Stephen F. Austin's head coach. The architect of SFA's most successful two-year stretch in program history, and one of the nation's most explosive offenses, the 'Jacks hold one of the Southland Conference's best records over the course of the past four seasons, a stretch which includes two SLC titles, two top-10 finishes and consecutive trips to the NCAA playoffs. The two-time SLC Coach of the Year is only 14 wins shy of becoming the school's all-time winningest head coach.

Harper had to build the Lumberjack program from the ground up. Taking over a program that went 0-11 during his first season, Harper orchestrated one of the biggest turnarounds in the nation guiding the Lumberjacks to a conference title just two seasons later. The Lumberjacks ended the season ranked among the nation's top 10, and advanced to the second round of the FCS playoffs. It was the first Southland Conference title for SFA since 1999.

Following the '09 campaign, Harper was recognized for his efforts being named the SLC Coach of the Year, and finishing second by only two points for the Eddie Robinson National Coach of the Year Award.

Just for good measure, Harper's troops repeated that winning formula the following season by recording another Southland title, its second-straight top-10 ranking and received a bye in the opening round of the playoffs. It marked the first time in program history that a Lumberjack football team won back-to-back conference titles at any level. In addition to the team's success, quarterback Jeremy Moses became the first player in SFA and Southland history to win the Walter Payton Award, the FCS' version of the Heisman Trophy.

Although Harper's background was on the defensive side of the ball, the two-time Southland Coach of the Year has produced some of the nation's most explosive offensives since 2008. The 2013 season marked the third time in the past four years SFA has led the nation in passing offense during the regular season. The Lumberjacks have been ranked among the nation's top six in passing each of the past five seasons, with two passing national titles. SFA has ranked among the nation's top 10 in total offense each of the past four seasons, and among the nation's top 10 in scoring offense in three of the last four seasons.

In addition to the two passing national titles recorded under Harper, SFA has also led the nation in several other categories. During the 2011 season, the Lumberjacks posted the nation's top mark in sacks, tackles for losses and pass protection. Harper's athletes have reaped the benefits of his time as head coach. Over the course of the past six seasons 93 SFA athletes have earned All-SLC honors, including 26 first-team selections and 55 have received All-America honors including 2010 Walter Payton Award winner Jeremy Moses, and 2013 CFPA Elite Defensive Performer Willie Jefferson. In addition to that, Harper has produced three league newcomers of the year, two players of the year, two defensive players of the year, an SLC offensive player of the year and has had two players drafted, and nine others have signed free agent contracts.

Harper came to Nacogdoches as the defensive coordinator prior to the 2005 season. In his first year, Harper was given the task of guiding a youthful defense through the rigors of one of the nation's toughest schedules. During his second year on the job, Harper began to see some of the fruits of his labor. Harper turned a defense that finished near the bottom in every statistical category in 2005, into the most effective defense in the league. SFA led the SLC in scoring defense, rush defense and total defense during league games in 2006.

A 23-year veteran of collegiate coaching, Harper was at Western Michigan prior to joining the SFA staff. He was the defensive coordinator for coach Gary Darnell in 2004 and served as the defensive line coach in 2003. His defensive line was ranked third-best in the MAC in 2003. He also coached Jason Babin, a first-round draft pick of the Houston Texans while at WMU.

Prior to Western Michigan, Harper spent four seasons as an assistant in the SLC helping Northwestern State and McNeese State to three playoff appearances. Harper was the defensive coordinator and assistant head coach for Scott Stoker at Northwestern State in 2002 when the Demons posted a 9-4 record and earned an FCS playoff spot. The Demons were first in the SLC in total defense in 2002, giving up only 276.6 yards per game.

Harper also spent a season as the defensive coordinator at Southwest Missouri State in 1997 and served an earlier stint as the defensive line coach at Western Michigan in 1996. He spent four seasons as the defensive line coach at Southwest Missouri State from 1992-96.

Following a four-year playing career at Clemson, where the Tigers won three ACC Championships, Harper began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at North Carolina under Mack Brown. He later served two seasons as a graduate assistant for coach Lou Holtz at Notre Dame.

Harper and his wife, Marcie, are the parents of a son, Michael (7) and daughter, Emma (3).
